We had to be out of our cabins by 10am, so after breakfast we had to pack up and place our larger suitcases by an elevator so that someone could gather them. The rest of the time on our boat, (until 2:30pm) we had to have all of our stuff with us. We tried getting good seats to hang around in but people had grabbed those quickly after breakfast. But that was ok, because we grabbed those seats when everyone got up to go for lunch.
It was another cold and very rainy day. Last scenes from the boat.
Disembarking from the boat went very smoothly. We had to wait a little while for our luggage but at least it was all there. Then we had arranged, while on the boat, to take a bus tour of Bergen after getting off the boat. So, that's what we did next. It was about a 2 hour bus tour and at then end, they deliver everyone to their hotels. It rained the whole time - from arriving in Bergen to arriving at our hotel.
This is the view out the window of our hotel room.
That evening, we looked for a restaurant that was in the Lonely Planet book of Norway that Fernando had given us. That restaurant didn't seem to be in business anymore, there was a different one in its place. So, instead, we walked across the street to Bergen's Fish Market (which Lonely Planet also suggested was a great place to eat). This place will fix you anything they have in their cases. Here is dried and salted cod hanging from poles in the Fish Market.
Guillermo and I shared a plate of Monk Fish (the fish in the middle) and Hake. It was very very good.

There's Guillermo and John at our table.
How Bergen looked after dinner when it had gotten a lot darker.
